Hate to hear this Brock. But this is what I love about this thread, year in, year out. It's REAL. Unlucky this time, buddy.

A weekend like that would be great, but it isn’t in the cards. My daughter is coming home this weekend and bringing a couple friends. Her friend Lola is a black chic from Cleveland that has come to love her redneck retreats to our house. Lol. She wanted Mason to take her on a four wheeler ride a few weeks ago. He looked at her a bit surprised and asked if she had ever ridden one. She answered, “ I’m from Cleveland. We ride the bus”. I need to visit with my girl Saturday before getting the shop open. As far as a bed, I’ve not slept in mine for weeks. I kept my bride awake due to my constant moaning and whining when rolling over. Lol.
I seriously couldn't function without doing my lengthy stretching regimen every day. neck, shoulders, arms, back, legs, and feet. head to toe for real. sometimes twice a day, sometimes I have to stop working and stretch a little. stick with it, and it will help you and maybe prevent relapse.

Mason I went hunting with Chad and Mallory today. We enjoyed their company and Chad did find the fish. Here is a pic of Chad with a couple dandy elusive perch.
Thanks for coming along Brock. That was a great day to be on the water.
Awesome stuff guys!!!! Chads got a heck of a charter business going on up there and I highly recommend him

Mason and I hunted the neighbors farm tonight. I saw a small buck, a doe with two fawns. The small buck was dogging the doe pretty severely. She must be getting close.
Mason was skunked in his set up.

back on 10/12, I watched a yearling 5x4 running the piss out of a yearling doe like she was about ready.

I made my first morning sit of the year up in Fayette today. I drove my truck nearly to the stand. I figured it may cut down on the number of deer I’d see but didn’t really have a choice as walking is still a pain. I saw one while driving back the lane and another 16 from the stand. I only had a shot opportunity at a small six point, everything else was out of range. The fifth deer I saw was a dandy buck, I’m sure I’d have shot if I had a chance. Saw only three bucks. Fun morning.

It was. They all are. Being a little hobbled this year makes me appreciate every chance to go a little more.

Mason went to Fayette without me tonight. I planned to tag along but walking out to the barn to get ready was enough of a reminder that Ive got no business taking a long stroll just yet. Six freaking weeks and counting since this started...
I was hopeful for both Mason and Jake tonight (Carpn). Jake is on a stud buck and was going in after him for the first time tonight. My body wasn’t in the woods but thanks to those two and the live thread, my mind sure was. Mason had a slow sit. The landowner came back pretty close to him to do some mowing. He maintains a feeding station that is 230 north of Masons stand. As soon as he finished mowing and left the area, Mason saw 7 antlerless deer sneak out and start munching before moving on for the evening. That was all he saw. Jake’s plan didn’t come together tonight but I’m willing to bet it will soon and I’ll be thrilled when it does!
I hope to get out with Masons help this weekend to move some stands this weekend. They will be much closer to the truck but still in good kill spots. We are getting close to one of more exciting times of year!

Mason and I hunted Fayette tonight. He saw six or seven, no shooters. I hunted from the Turtle and saw just two button bucks and one rabbit. There are none of the usual scrapes or rubs showing up yet. My bet is it will happen on Halloween. They will likely fire up suddenly and it will seem all is right with the world.

Mason killed an old one on November 14. He was the drop tine buck that I had videotaped a few times back in 2017. He didn’t have the drop tine this year but his luck did finally run out. Mason shot him at 73 yards, he ran 50-60 before piling up.
